    Very nice job, obviously done in a proper garage workshop as there’s paint trestles for bonnets and doors loitering in the background!

    Beautiful paintwork, darkman. I love that color. What's it called? Looking forward to seeing it again if the owner wants anything added.

    Its called candy orange Sandi, its sprayed over a course silver base on this one and every coat changes the tone as it gets darker with each coat.

    How do you tape around the filler? I did my cb360 and the vapors were causing the paint to peel around the filler neck. THX
    Great job!

    I just tape outside of the seal on the filler cap and seal the edge by brushing a little clearcoat around the edge after painting. Also don't use fuel with ethanol in it.
